Why publishers struggle
Here's why publishers are struggling
Web scraping and content theft quietly drain value by copying articles, feeds, images, archives, and datasets at scale.
AI & Content Theft
AI companies and competitors scrape our articles and paywalled stories for free, using our work to train their models or resell.
Price & Product Data Scraping
Competitors steal pricing and product data, undermining our competitive advantage and revenue streams.
Site Performance Hits
Heavy scraper traffic slows down our site and damages user experience, hurting SEO rankings and engagement.
Lost Revenue & ROI
Scrapers steal the very content we monetize, cutting into ad revenue, subscriptions, and product sales.
How it works
Silent traffic scanning — catch bad bots without slowing your site
We integrate into your traffic path and analyze each request in real time. For every visitor, we decide to allow access, block the request, or send them to a challenge page to solve a captcha—ensuring legitimate users flow through while stopping scrapers and bots.

Easy Integration
Two-step approach for maximum protection
Start with a single API call for detection and protection, then add the frontend SDK for even more accurate detection.
- Step 1: API Integration
- Make a single API call that returns Allow, Blocked, or Challenge. Integrate at the edge, reverse proxy, or server-side for real-time detection and protection.
- Step 2: Frontend SDK
- Place the SDK on your frontend to detect even more accurately. Works alongside the API for comprehensive protection.
- WordPress Plugin
- We offer a WordPress plugin for quick deployment. For other CMSs, use the API and SDK integration.
// API call returns: Allow, Blocked, or Challenge
const response = await fetch(
'https://api.trustedaccounts.org/api/v1/scraper/check',
{
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ url: requestUrl })
}
);
const decision = await response.json();
// decision.action: 'allow' | 'block' | 'challenge'
// Frontend SDK
